Celebrate Oktoberfest – Recipes to Enjoy during Oktoberfest

Celebrate Oktoberfest in style with one of these delicious and hearty recipes. Be sure to add a few pints of beer for good measure! It’s one of the really fun traditions of fall.

International and National Days give us a good reason to celebrate. This European holiday is observed in Germany and many Americans also honor the day in some way.

There is nothing like a cold glass of beer. Did you know that April 7 is known as National Beer Day?

When my husband and I first met, we did a tour of Europe. One of the highlights of it was being in Munich for Oktoberfest. We met with some of his relatives and had a thoroughly enjoyable time sampling local beer and food.

Oktoberfest is held annually in Munich and is a 16-18 day festival that starts in late September and ends during the first weekend in October. Millions of people attend the event each year and it has been held since 1810. Other cities also hold Oktoberfest celebrations but few match those in Munich!

During Oktoberfest, large amounts of beer are consumed and there are also lots of rides, games and traditional foods available to visitors. Pretzels and beer abound!

If a trip to Germany is not on your list of things to do this year, don’t despair. Many local communities have Oktoberfest celebrations. You could even invite your friends and put together some fun German recipes to celebrate it your own way.
